Mark Zuckerberg outlines ideas for new web regulations in WaPo op-ed
Why it matters: With these comments, along with other specific recommendations for regulation in the Washington Post op-ed, Zuckerberg is trying to shape the terms of the multi-front debate over its collection of user data and massive influence over information.
Our thought bubble: When it comes to malicious or harmful content, Zuckerberg is making an unabashed pitch for industry self-regulation. Hes implicitly presenting an alternative to slashing the law that shields Facebook and other web platforms from liability for user-generated content a law they say is central to their business.
Harmful content: He said he agrees with lawmakers who suggest Facebook has too much power over speech and that Facebook shouldn't be making free speech decisions on its own but emphasized a self-regulation regime.
He added that governments also need to create "clear rules" around new technologies like artificial intelligence.
